This course requires both knowledge development and in-person training for certification. When you purchase PADI eLearning from our website, the cost covers the knowledge development portion only.
There is an additional cost to complete your certification with a PADI Instructor. The cost depends on class size and other factors. Contact a PADI Dive Center or Resort for more information and pricing.
If you own scuba equipment, it’s highly beneficial to bring it to class so you can learn how to repair and maintain it. Your instructor can also provide you with dive gear to work with during training.
